Underworld Goes Deeper

Who knew that when Kate Beckinsale stepped into that leather suit and started battling the Lycans that the Underworld series would have been so successful.

Shock Till You Drop has gotten word that Screen Gems is currently considering a fourth installment in the series, a follow-up to the prequel film that released last year. Currently targeted for a January 21, 2011 release date, the film will be shot in 3-D, though it is unclear whether any of the principal cast members will return or where the film will be set in the Underworld timeline.

Telling the story of the ages-old conflict between the vampires and the Lycans, the Underworld series has been modestly successful at the box-office with Rhona Mitra taking over for Beckinsale in the badass leather ensemble.
